JUST ONE KISS
(Chas. K. Harris - 1900)
Goodbye darling, good bye dear, I'm going far away
Out into the wide, wide world, so do not bid me stay
But I will return to you with gold and diamonds too
And I'll lay them at your feet, so give me ere I go
Just one kiss, darling and then good bye
Just one kiss sweetheart, just you and I
Place your dear arms about me, and don't you cry
Just one kiss, oh, my darling, and then good-bye
Will you always think of me and will your heart be true
Will you welcome me and say, "I still love none but you"
And if your love has not changed, then to the church we'll go
Where I'll make you my sweet wife, so give me ere I go
Just one kiss, darling and then good bye
Just one kiss sweetheart, just you and I
Place your dear arms about me, and don't you cry
Just one kiss, oh, my darling, and then goodbye
